Live a healthy life in the Algarve
There are things happening in the Algarve, and as we already know, winter isn’t just going to stop the fun and the sun here. Live a healthy life in the Algarve this year 2015, seems to be what everybody is encouraging us to do. And action is being taken in this respect, as we will see!
On February 1st, the Olhao Parish Council invites us all to join them and several organizations in the event called “Olhao Saudavel” (“Healthy Olhao”).
The Portuguese are striving to live a safer and healthier life. To do this, the administration had the initiative to invite everyone to take a ride on the bike or to simply take a walk around town in order to celebrate the 10 new bicycle stations in Freguesia.The walk begins in front of the Parish around 11 o’clock on Feb 1st.
Olhao is not the only place in Portugal where one can live a healthy life. This year, Loule has been selected to be the European Sports City. The election of the city was made at the end of May 2014 and made official in November last, in Bruxelles.
On January 31st, Loule finally and officially becomes Europe’s Sports Center (or one of them, at any rate) in a ceremony held at the municipal sports pavilion at 9 PM.
Loule is “home” to almost 8000 athletes who come to practice their respective sports in 57 clubs and associations. Guimaraes and Maia have also been European Sports Cities in the past. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the city of Loule and its sports success! If you are in the Algarve, you can rent a car and get the best of your experience. Another transport option is to book a Faro airport taxi online. The choice is up to you!
